Let a professional writer and journalist help you get started or un-stuck so you can present your best and most authentic self to your dream schools.

SUCCESS BEYOND TEST SCORES

Despite the rumors, your test scores alone do not determine your admissions fate. Your character, values, and personality are just as important, but you need great essays to bring out those qualities, and that's where we shine. We help our clients discover and express their best and most revealing experiences, lifting them beyond any imagined limitation of test scores or other surface measurements to attain schools seemingly beyond reach.

With only a 640 on my GMAT, only Bryan could have led me to top schools like Wharton...

TELL US WHAT YOU'VE DONE, AND WE'LL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE

As former journalists, the most important questions we'll ask you are not "What did you accomplish?", but rather "Why and how did you accomplish it?" Your answers will reveal your awareness of your unique combination of strengths and weaknesses, with a focus on the soft skills that almost always determine success or failure.

Bryan made me aware of my own unique qualities, which I had not thought of as particularly special, and those became incredibly important elements to express who I was in my essays and interviews.

Through this "self-awareness", you can express your potential contributions to your classmates as well as your greatest development needs. This self-awareness is the most important quality to demonstrate to admissions committees, but it is also the most elusive and time-consuming to develop, which is why we encourage our clients to begin the essay-writing process as early as possible, even before they've finished taking tests. As we've proven repeatedly, great essays can overcome average test scores, but even great test scores rarely overcome average essays.

WE DON'T COUNT SESSIONS, WE COUNT IMPACT

Some of our most successful clients -- most of whom work under flat-rate packages -- don't know how special they are. It's our job to make sure they and the schools they are applying to do. Through constant communication by Skype, email, and in-person (New York City area), we will extract your best stories and inject them with unique and humanizing details so they exude you. We then fashion these stories into a comprehensive and integrated application package that demonstrates your utmost potential to achieve your ambitious goals. Our approach is so successful that many of our clients -- even those already with company sponsorships or scholarships -- receive generous scholarship offers from their target schools.

...he would always give it straight to me, 100% bullsh%t-free, when giving me his opinion about my essays and interview answers. At the end of the day, I can only compare his level of honesty and commitment to my success to the ones your true friends have with you. This is something money can’t buy.

If you work with us, expect initial email responses within a few hours and edits within 48 hours, even during the busiest deadline periods.
